AI is no longer a question of whether companies are experimenting. Most are. The harder question is whether that activity is changing the economics of the business. In this Fast Company article, Todd James argues that AI becomes a leadership issue when pilots, platforms, and roadmaps fail to connect to P&L impact, faster decisions, and the confidence executives need to act.
Most executive teams are no longer debating whether AI matters. They have pilots underway, internal momentum, and board-level attention. The gap is that too much of the work still fails to connect clearly to business performance.
In this Fast Company article, Todd James, Founder and CEO of Aurora Insights, argues that AI is a leadership problem, not a technology problem. The companies that will separate themselves are not simply the ones with more models, tools, or initiatives. They are the ones that can show where AI changes the economics of the business, improves decision velocity, and gives leaders better visibility into risk and opportunity. The real test is not where the company is using AI. It is where AI is helping the business move faster, perform better, and make better decisions when it matters.
